The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

I don't know about visual quality, but they absolutely will block it for lack of trophies.  That is their policy.

Anyway, this announcement is a no-brainer.  We knew it was coming after the first game was announced.  Honestly I'm surprised they're waiting until April...

It's just a single game, I think they just announced the date for the second.

(The other reason a US release is still in Jeopardy, SCEA could go "nope!" to releasing this alone unless it were digitally.)

Yeah?  YEAH???  GOOD FOR THEM.  >=(

I've pretty much burned out my anticipation for the future titles at this point. The first game's localization came out what, two years ago now?

Still my favorite game for PSP though.

[Eusis]

Wish they'd at least announce the first one for PC, if nothing else I can get full detail that way. :/

Or that SCEA decides to be awesome and just let these come out regardless of trophies or PSP release status.

Can you use your "I work at an RPG site that loves the shit outta your shit" powers to get an inside scoop?

That doesn't happen too often but is nice to want things.

That'd more the realm of the others, plus I doubt anyone would get more information than someone on a forum asking someone like wyrdwad would get anyway.

Well, the PSP and some of those late PS1/PS2 games DO indicate they loosen up their approval process in the twilight years of a console, though this generation brought on all sorts of other crap the others didn't see.

It's why I wouldn't feel too bad about Nintendo eating all Japanese support though, earlier on Sony came off as refreshingly loose compared to Nintendo, but nowadays they definitely come off as the biggest tight asses for retail releases, even though Microsoft beats them for digital.

$10 says Dice preorders it.

Are there spoilers in these books?  Because if so, keep them away from me...I still intend to properly play the whole series someday, even if I have to do it in Japanese...

Of course.

Have fun learning Japanese.

Yes and no.  I mean, some NPCs got the "evil face" portrait or the "hypnotized-no-shine-in-the-anime-eyes" portraits. I dunno how sensitive to spoilz you are, there are a few, but nothing too outright.

Funny thing actually:

I owned them already (see my No Frill's Thread, that was them).
But when Dicey was broke she found a seller, and I got $100 for them.

Guess what I might be buying again. :D
